The child-like spirit, small enough to fit on Eisen's palm, slowly looked around and then just stared at the old man with its golden eyes.
"Huh..." Xenia muttered quietly, "I didn't expect its body to stay that size as well... That doesn't usually happen..." She pointed out, and Eisen just sighed a bit in response.
"What, is it now going to just stay in this size? It won't really be able to help me out much then. In a couple specific situations, sure, but otherwise..." Eisen said, a bit annoyed by the fact that he might have just messed this up, but before he knew it, the spirit in his hand picked up on what Eisen wanted and slowly grew in size.
It still had child-like proportions, but it was now the size of a regular child, "Well, nevermind then..." The old man muttered, and Xenia leaned forward toward the spirit excitedly, "I guess it also has size-change abilities."
"Seems so, yeah. I guess we should just get started now then, huh? Test out what you can do." Eisen suggested with a smile on his face. He looked down at the figure of the elemental spirit with curiosity, just wanting to see what it would be capable of. And with a quick nod, the elemental spirit just hurried over toawrd a nearby table where Eisen put down some tools as an extra reference for some of the blueprints he drew.
Immediately, the spirit took a hammer into its hand and looked at it for a while, before just placing it back down onto the table. The same thing happened with the different knives, the tongs, the needles, et cetera, that were laying on that table. It just picked them up and put them back down a couple moments later.
The spirit rushed back to Eisen and looked up at the old man while stretching its hand forward. Eisen watched it curiously, before he noticed some elemental mana gathering in its hand. Before Eisen knew it, the spirit had formed a hammer in its hand out of the blazing core of the mountain element, simply turning the wooden parts into parts made up solely by the base element.
Eisen stretched his hand out and picked the hammer up from the spirit's hand, but when direct contact to the spirit's hand was lost, the elemental hammer just crumbled down. But until then, Eisen was able to get a rather good grasp on it. It seemed like the spirit just made proper, actual copies of all the tools, but they were a sort of spell that could only be kept up under specific conditions. That's what Eisen figured, at least.
"Hm. Alright, here, make me something." The old man said and waved his hand to the side as he created a forge that the spirit could work with, and then turned toward the core guardian standing next to him.
"Sigurd, bring us some steel, wood and leather. Any is fine, really." The old man pointed out, and Sigurd disappeared and returned a few moments later with the materials in its hands.
"Here you go. But do you really want the spirit to make something on its own?" Sigurd asked, and Eisen slowly nodded his head, "Yeah, why not? I need to know what it can do, so obviously." Eisen's explanation seemed to have made Xenia want to say something, although she was somewhat holding herself back from doing so.
"Something wrong?" Eisen asked her, and Xenia looked at the old man with a light smile, "It's just that, usually, spirits can't do such things. Sure, it may be able to assist you, but I don't see how a spirit would be able to create full items. I haven't heard of it before, at least." Xenia explained, and Eisen raised his brows a bit as he looked at the figure of the Light Spirit still standing behind the high-elf.
"So the armor that guy's wearing, as well as the weapon he's carrying were made by a regular craftsman?" Eisen asked as he turned back toward the elemental spirit as it started by placing the metal into the forge all the whilst already starting to carve into the wood.
Xenia stared at the Light Spirit for a while, even running her hand over the full plate armor it was wearing, and then turned toward Eisen, "Fair enough, for some reason I didn't even think of that. There is a spirit realm, after all, so it might be completely possible that there's a proper civilization there, with craftsmen and all that."
"It would just make sense, right? It might happen in games, but this isn't a game. It might be possible to make proper weapons and armor using magic, but that's just when you have a specific element for it. I can probably make pretty good armor out of the light element with my magic craftsmanship skill, but it shouldn't be possible just by forming the element like that. I mean, I tried just making weapons and armor using my new element by simply giving it the right shape, after all."
"Right, right... Yeah, then maybe the spirit can actually make proper items after all. I really should try to find more spirits already. The two guys I have right now may be super cute, but if there's spirits that can even make items, there must be ones out there that can do basically anything!" Xenia said, audibly and visibly growing more excited by the moment, and Eisen could just see Jyuuk's stare on the back of his head. He probably wasn't happy with the fact that Eisen just made it so that Xenia would just end up gushing over the possibilities of different spirits over the next few hours. Although, he was probably already used to that anyway.
But for now, Eisen just watched his elemental spirit work, curious about what kind of item he was working on. Eisen had Sigurd bring wood, steel and leather because he figured a regular weapon would be a pretty good base item to see the elemental's ability. However, from the way that the elemental shaped the wood, it didn't seem like it was going to be any sort of weapon. It just cut the wood into small wooden tubes, and right now, it was shaping the steel into larger, soda-can-sized tubes.
Eisen was really more than just curious about what this was supposed to be. And then, the elemental grabbed the leather, created a knife out of nowhere, and cut it into thin strips. It then used a needle to sew some of the ends of the leahter strips together to turn them into differently-sized leather rings.
"...Can it only make tube-shaped things?" Eisen muttered quietly, although he was more than just surprised when he saw that this was really not yet the final result of the crafting. The elemental actually started enchanting the inside of the small wooden tubes. Eisen couldn't tell what exactly the enchantments were, but he was definitely incredibly curious about it.
Once the enchantments were done, the spirit always connected three of the wooden tubes together using the leather rings he made, and Eisen already started getting a little bit of an idea what they were supposed to be.
In total, there were five of these wood-leather tubes now. And then, the elemental connected the rest of the leather strips to all of those wooden tubes, strengthening Eisen's guess of what this may going to be. The elemental then also connected larger strips to the larger metal tubes and then connected more wood and leathe tubes to the five ones that he made before leading into those larger metal tubes.
And to finish it off, the elemental placed some caps onto the metal tubes to close them up and turn them into proper cannisters. Once the item was done, the elemental happily brought it over to Eisen and held it up to him, and the old man quickly took a look at it.
[Material Extractor]
[Quality – Perfect][Rank – 5]
[Description] An assisting item made by the Omni Craftsmaster Eisen's Spirit. It was made to support the extraction and intake of different materials, and can hold up to five different ones at a time. As the materials are compressed after being stored, they can hold huge amounts of them.
As it was created by a Spirit with a high understanding of mana and magic, the enchantments are highly mana-efficient.
[Effect] +25% benefit to Extraction Skill; +100 INT, +100 WIS, +50 AGI
[Requirements] Extraction Skill, 100 INT, 100 WIS, 50 AGI
With a broad smile, Eisen took the item into his hand and put it on in the way that he figured it was supposed to be used. The metal tubes were supposed to be strapped to his arm, and the wooden tubes were supposed to be strapped to his fingers.
This was, while Eisen was extracting materials, he could instantly remove them and store them in these cannisters instead of having to move them to a different place either with his skills or physically, which would definitely save a fair amount of time once he was able to make use of this properly.
"Fits perfectly. You knew that I still had to level some skills of mine up, huh?" Eisen asked with a grin, and the spirit slowly nodded his head while the others just looked at Eisen and that weird contraption curiously.
"What is it?" Xenia asked, most curious out of everyone, since she wanted to know what a spirit would be capable of, and the old man held his arm with the 'support item' on it over toward her.
"It's something that literally helps me level my Extraction skill up more easily, just how I said. I have to rank up three more skills, and the Extraction skill is one of them." Eisen pointed out, and Xenia excitedly looked over toward the elemental spirit.
"It knew about that? But you didn't tell it, did you? That means it retains direct knowledge from you... Interesting, does that mean you can inform it about things telepathically as well?" Xenia asked curiously, and Eisen raised his brows surprised, "Probably, but it works that way with Golem Commands as well, right? And you should probably know it through your two spirits already as well."
"Ah... right... I kind of forgot about that..." Xenia replied embarrassedly while scratching her cheek, and Eisen lightly smiled back at her, "Don't worry about it. It is a pretty cool thing though. This just means that I won't have to explain different ideas to it. Parc and Rouge are amazing boys, but they won't know what a circuit board is or how it works. But maybe this guy actually does know, since I know about it. Definitely, this will make things, far, far easier."
